Featured Project

Blackbaud Checkout Integation

Led the full-stack development to integrate Blackbaud checkout (payment platform) into the one-page and cart donation experiences on Heifer.org in 2022 and 2023. Project components: front-end JS, PHP, token authorization, data storage and reporting.

Featured Project

Alternative Payments

I integrated alternative payment methods into the Heifer one-page donation form in 2020. These integrated buttons are "intelligent", showing or hiding based on device compatibility with the payment method. I added Apple Pay, Google Pay and Venmo to the Heifer site. I also added these buttons to the regular "cart" checkout flow.

Featured Project

Give in Honor

For this project, I created a post-transaction flow that users can go though to send cards to honor loved ones accompanying a donation.

Featured Project

Take Hunger off the Menu

Created a microsite with WordPress for a short-term marketing campaign for International Food Day. The site integrated with PayPal. (This campaign is not currently active.)

Featured Project

Gift Catalog SCSS

During the website rebuild of 2019, I wrote SCSS for a series of Lego Blocks and sections on the Heifer website. One such section was the Gift Catalog landing page.

Featured Project

Extend Match Message System

The Heifer site requires promotional messages to be shown to users depending on what code they enter the site with after coming from a particular marketing chanel. I extended the feature, making it more robust, showing banner and messages that "matched" special promotional content from the Heifer CMS throughout the checkout experience.
